Re: Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

I followed this tutorial and was able to install and add everything as instructed (not without any issues but yes). I added the .ics file links to the calendar module in the config file but it just shows that there are no events.

I am relatively new to this and have no clue what am I doing wrong. I am able to discover and sync vdirsyncer. I do not get any errors. Could someone please help me out here?

I have attached my config file.

let config = {
        address: "localhost",   // Address to listen on, can be:
                                                        // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
                                                        // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
                                                        // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
                                                        // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
        port: 8080,
        basePath: "/",  // The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
                                                                        // you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
        ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],  // Set [] to allow all IP addresses

@bougle if you edit the synced ics file, are there events present?
ics is just a text file

sdetweil

@bougle said in I can't for the love of god understand what's wrong with my config:

http://localhost:8080/modules/calendars/D8CC2057-AD72-45D1-9AC7-942E8C2A5DD1.ics

is the synced ics IN the modules folder tree??
you had to MAKE that calendars folder, right?

it MUST be in the MagicMirror folder tree to use localhost:8080

chrisfr1976

@bougle
Try


let config = {address: "0.0.0.0", …….

And


url: "http://0.0.0.0:8080/modules/calendars……..

Worked for me.

Br Chris

sdetweil

@chrisfr1976 technically you shouldn’t need this

“0.0.0.0” means listen on all active network interfaces (wifi and ethernet) without having to specify their addresses ( which would be impossible to do for multiple interfaces)

the http://0.0.0.0:8080 makes no sense to me , unless they coded in a hack to say keep looking for whatever interface works. although localhost does that same thing

the other thing “0.0.0.0” does is allow incoming requests from outside this system, where localhost restricts incoming request to ONLY apps on this same system

bougle

@sdetweil Thank you for your reply.

Yes I do already have all the three .ics files in

~/MagicMirror/modules/calendars

bougle

@chrisfr1976 Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it out today and report back.

sdetweil

@bougle ok, next, can you look at the output of npm start and see the message
broadcasting xxx events for calendar —url----
for each url?

sdetweil

@bougle make any progress?

It shows that there are 0 events. And btw, the .ics files are completely empty.
